Slack API in Go [](https://godoc.org/github.com/slack-go/slack) [](https://travis-ci.org/slack-go/slack) =============== This is the original Slack library for Go created by Norberto Lopez, transferred to a Github organization. [](https://gitter.im/go-slack/Lobby?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge)  This library supports most if not all of the `api.slack.com` REST calls, as well as the Real-Time Messaging protocol over websocket, in a fully managed way. ## Project Status There is currently no major version released. Therefore, minor version releases may include backward incompatible changes. See [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/slack-go/slack/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) for more information about the changes. ## Installing ### *go get* $ go get -u github.com/slack-go/slack ## Example ### Getting all groups ```golang import ( "fmt" "github.com/slack-go/slack" ) func main() { api := slack.New("YOUR_TOKEN_HERE") // If you set debugging, it will log all requests to the console // Useful when encountering issues // slack.New("YOUR_TOKEN_HERE", slack.OptionDebug(true)) groups, err := api.GetGroups(false) if err != nil { fmt.Printf("%s\n", err) return } for _, group := range groups { fmt.Printf("ID: %s, Name: %s\n", group.ID, group.Name) } } ``` ### Getting User Information ```golang import ( "fmt" "github.com/slack-go/slack" ) func main() { api := slack.New("YOUR_TOKEN_HERE") user, err := api.GetUserInfo("U023BECGF") if err != nil { fmt.Printf("%s\n", err) return } fmt.Printf("ID: %s, Fullname: %s, Email: %s\n", user.ID, user.Profile.RealName, user.Profile.Email) } ``` ## Minimal RTM usage: See https://github.com/slack-go/slack/blob/master/examples/websocket/websocket.go ## Minimal EventsAPI usage: See https://github.com/slack-go/slack/blob/master/examples/eventsapi/events.go ## Contributing You are more than welcome to contribute to this project.
